Okay, it has been a while without a post so I thought I would start to remove the parts off the two chassis brought back from Victoria to obtain the missing parts for my T600. It appears though that things are not quite as they seemed? I will clarify; they are both three wheel Mazda light trucks but to my surprise the rustier of the two is actually a K360. So, along with the K360 in Sydney there is now a second Australian delivered one that survives. Interestingly, my example is also fitted with T600 badged doors so maybe these were fitted at a later date, who knows?

I should have twigged they were different as the chassis is slightly shorter over the T600. They are both still the early versions though, as you can see both stamped 60 on the chassis before the chassis number.

Anyway, both chassis numbers are below:

K360

T600

Also worth noting is this Dymo label still attached to the K360 dash showing that it too was working at an airport, but I am assuming not for the RAAF? Anyway, you never stop learning in this hobby do you?

Reproduced decals for the T600. Many thanks to fellow T600 owner Ed Krantz in the US for his help in making these possible. Printed on chrome backing paper, the black writing was printed onto a clear layer that was overlaid.

His neighbour Mark re-made the graphics off the originals, my professional vinyl graphics guy here in Australia printed them out. There are grammatical errors carried over from the originals that were on Ed's T600. That is the way they were.

The joys of the internet to make all this so easy from the other side of the world.

Not shown here is the payload decal which will be re-done as I wasn't happy enough with them. The decals on their side are to get around the forum size limits!

Outstanding work as usual on the little things Jon. As for the information you keep digging up on these rare cars I will as most will probably never need the info but gee I find it interesting keep up the great work.

I co-forumist in a Greek historic cars forum wrote that in many cases the prices are not "real" as they bid form the internet from all over the world without any guarantees. In any case, in these prices a 10 to 15% auction fees are included he noticed. Judjing from auctions in Japan I think prices for restored cars are not reaching even the half of the ones in this auctions. But you never know: some months before an unrestored short body T600 was sold in Greece 2,500 euros in the peak of the financial crisis.
